Tottenham might finally fail to land a transfer target after a report claimed he\u2019s now warming to the idea of joining Newcastle instead.<\/p>\n
Spurs <\/a>are splashing the cash this summer and backing Roberto De Zerbi in a big way. The clear need for experience and leadership has been fixed with the signings of three veteran free agents \u2013 Martin Dubravka, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi.<\/p>\n A combined \u00a3237m has been spent on readymade Premier League players in their primes, with Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and now Sandro Tonali all arriving.<\/p>\n The fireworks won\u2019t stop there, however, with Spurs aiming to sign one and potentially two new wingers.<\/p>\n Savinho is the top target, while Rafael Leao and Cody Gakpo are also on their radar.<\/p>\n However, Savinho isn\u2019t the only Manchester City<\/a> player Tottenham have set their sights on, with The Independent recently confirming Spurs are \u2018pushing\u2019 to sign James Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n Guglielmo Vicario is expected to return to Serie A, leaving Spurs with Antonin Kinsky, Dubravka and Brandon Austin to choose from between the sticks.<\/p>\n De Zerbi believes in Kinsky, though the report was keen to stress an upgrade in the form of Trafford could be signed.<\/p>\n Man City are ready to wave goodbye to the 23-year-old England international who was quickly superseded by Gianluigi Donnarumma last summer.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, Man City have just agreed to bring Pierce Charles back from Sheffield Wednesday in a move that paves the wav for Trafford to go.<\/p>\n James Trafford \u2018receptive\u2019 to joining Newcastle<\/p>\n Our colleagues over on TEAMtalk understand a deal can be struck with City for around \u00a340m. But while Tottenham are pushing, they could lose out to Newcastle<\/a> who want a new starting stopper of their own.<\/p>\n According to the Northern Echo<\/a>, Trafford is now \u2018receptive\u2019 to the prospect of joining the Magpies where he\u2019d immediately become their new No 1.<\/p>\n They explained: \u2018They (Newcastle) remain keen on James Trafford, who is another player whose future is set to be resolved once his World Cup duties are at an end.<\/p>\n \u2018Trafford, who is the third-choice goalkeeper in Thomas Tuchel\u2019s England squad, has accepted he will have to leave Manchester City this summer to secure regular first-team football.<\/p>\n MORE TOTTENHAM COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 \u2018He turned down the chance to join Newcastle last summer, instead heading to City from Burnley, but is believed to be receptive to the idea of heading to Tyneside ahead of the start of next season if the financial elements of a deal can be successfully agreed.<\/p>\n \u2018Ipswich Town are set to make a formal offer for Nick Pope, which could lead to the goalkeeper who finished last season in Newcastle\u2019s starting side heading to Portman Road.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham might finally fail to land a transfer target after a report claimed he\u2019s now warming to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":676833,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,448,348,10154,399,941,50,221,101,919,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-676832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-front-page","tag-home-page","tag-james-trafford","tag-manchester-city","tag-newcastle-united","tag-news","tag-premier-league","tag-sports","tag-tottenham-hotspur","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676832\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/676833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
